About Us Print E-mail

 

Developed under the spectrum of an emerging economy, our company is sustaining activities in three different fields: supplying in-store communication products, furniture and various other infrastructure elements; production of standard and custom made plastic displays; import and supplying of corporate identity clothing and promotional items.
Supplying in-store communication products remains our core business, a niche where we are market leader in our home country - Romania. Currently, our offer is based on a collection of 15000 items, from which over 1000 are produced in-house, the rest of them being imported from our traditional partners from Germany, Holland, Belgium, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, USA, Canada or Japan. All these items are to be found in our ARTMATCH - Sales Manager catalog, now already at its 5th edition.
The metallic furniture is produced in Germany, by our partner STOREbest GmbH&Co KG and right now, they equip more than 60 stores all over Romania and many hundreds others around Europe. Our mounting teams are specialized in working in big heights, in order to implement suspended in-store displays. The same teams are mounting the shelving and customer guidance where needed.
Our second field of activity - production, came naturally. The customized displays that we produce are complementary to the standard products range, answering to the more and more complex needs of the retailers. Producing them in-house, we have the chance to control the costs 100%, great advantage that is, of course, transmitted to our customers.
Import and distribution of promotional materials are a constant in our activity ever since the foundation of Art Match. The market evolution and the expertise that we achieved in all these years, leaded us to a very specialized niche: corporate identity clothing. Supplying collections like James Harvest, Printer, Mac One, Jingham, Pro Job, DAD and Grizzly and having a network of 14 resellers, nationwide, we became the biggest corporate clothing supplier in Romania.
